God, he is the WORST. Seriously, how is he going to direct the Oscars after this? Especially after his classic non-apology. "I apologize for any offense my remarks caused... I should have been much more thoughtful about my choice of words." So... you think that word is an option to use. That's really all I need to know.

Last Friday, I heard of his statements regarding Munn allegedly being pissed that he forgot about her after they had a one night stand or something, and I just rolled my eyes. Seriously, dude? And now with this "rehearsing is for fags" stuff, it's abundantly clear that Ratner's all class, all the time. What a douche.

I think the thing that for lack of a better word amuses me, is that their line in the sand of getting access to this information is if someone gets into a serious relationship then it's all ACCESS DENIED! What morals! Especially given that the timing of the blind item and him starting this database is right in the middle of his relationship with Serena Williams.

Huh, he's gay as well. I've never actually given any thought to his personal life. Also I sometimes mix him up with Ron Howard. (What? They both have names that start with Ro and have made movies that get Oscar attention.)

Now, now. I think we're all being a mite hard on Messrs. Rattner and Bay. After all, they're always insisting that they want to be considered with other master filmmakers. Why, if the internet had existed in the '70s, I'm sure this is exactly what Davey Lean and Dickie Attenborough would have done.

In other dumb quote news, because The Rum Diary bombed in the US, Johnny Depp sez we Americans is stoopid:

Does he suspect it will go down better in Europe than the US?

"Most definitely. It's something that will be more appreciated over here, I think. Cos it's – well, I think it's an intelligent film." He leaves a meaningful pause. "And a lot of times, outside the big cities in the States, they don't want that."

He's so right. I'm not smart enough to live in a big city (being stoopid and all) but I know that the minute I cross the sign labeled "Now entering Phoenix City Limits" (or Chicago) (or New York) (or Los Angeles) my IQ will automatically jump 50 points and I will finally be able to grasp the nuances of Depp's masterworks. It's just so hard finding Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so mentally taxing, y'all!

I think Johnny has been giving dumb interviews for the majority of his public life. I still remember Christina Kelly or some Sassy writer being, all, damn what a dick and that was 1991. And I know he gave at least one super douche one during Jump Street.

My biggest problem with the American People don't like smart movies thing is, when you've made three sequels to Pirates, your'e contributing to and benefitting from that culture of supposed stupidity so, shut it.

I hate it, but understand it, when Ratner himself says the words he used were "ill-judged." But when a reporter says it? I want to punch them as much as I want to punch Ratner. It seems worse, somehow, as if they're trying to be "fair and balanced" over something that doesn't need to be treated fairly.

I'd also love it if Tom Sherak or someone came out and said, "No, he didn't resign. We totally kicked his ass to the curb."

(Until we figure it out, do I have Schrödinger's stoopid?)

Well when I want to be informed about the nuances of film I head into Bensonhurst.

Johnny Depp has always said incredibly dumb things in interviews. Mostly of the emo, possibly alcoholic artist who lives in a chalet in France variety, and mostly forgivable on account of how much I enjoy him on screen. But...he should just stop talking. It wasn't a good idea 10 years ago, and it's not a good idea now.
